I would change the bulb. If the ground was bad it would most likely flicker or not work at all. Also, I beleive the blinker is wired into the same ground so if that comes undone your blinker will flash really quick.

Start with your fuses and make sure they are not blown and are still fitting snugly. Sometimes they can come free or get loose and that screws things up. Next check your bulbs. Do these two things and call me in the morning.
